So I guess there are small and larger in all the different villages and a lot of that depends on the series of home you have. Ranches and cottages have smaller lots than do designers.
South of 44, they moved the homes forward on the lots to give a bigger back yard. It was what people were now asking for...

Unfortunately, that caused the front yard to be significantly smaller, allowing only one car length in the driveway...

Both areas tend to have larger lots on cul-de-sacs, or when backing to view lots or major roadways... From what I saw, when I was shopping, there was little difference between the average lot size "between the 6's" and South of 44...
